[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 101087, member: 10"] RDM416, I have been keeping it relatively quiet for a while. Basically because I was waiting for the receiver to get here. Hopefully I can start spending some weekends playing with it and all the other crazy ideas I have going. As far as your project is concerned, Nesika got pretty squemish when I asked them if their receiver would handle the 408 CT case size. Then finally told me NO. We would need either a BAT or one of BD408s fancy Ti receivers to build on for this size of a round. To be honest, I think the Kahn is a more practical choice unless you get into some pretty exotic receiver weights and things like that. I think we could comfortably get into a 338 AM in the same weight class as your Wby 338 Kahn, in the 20 lb range. BD408 is using some very interesting things to keep his 338 Sniper Tac in the sub 15 lb range, he would be da man to ask about a light weight 338-408 wildcat. That said, I am going to test my round and see how it performs and then if it shows enough promise, attempt to build a 16 lb class of rifle just to see how it would perform. More to come this spring and summer. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
